Sit at the bar, enjoy friendly banter and watch a fantastic slicing and dicing show! The omakase is great, especially for sashimi. All the sushi is wonderful, excellent fresh fish very well prepared. Lots of wonderful small plates, as authentic as it gets. I get the deep fried mochi (agemochi) every time. Newly redesigned interior is a nice enhancement. It's a very casual, lively atmosphere which can get a crowded at peak times--perfect for enjoying another tall Sapporo and plenty of laughs with friends. Or for a lunchtime treat with co-workers, clients or anyone else you can use as an excuse to expense an awesome meal! • • •

What a find! I was looking for sushi places near The HUB Seattle and found them. I did not have high expectations, and was blown away by the quality of the sushi and authenticity of the place. Having eaten in many similar small sushi places in Tokyo and Osaka, I can say with confidence that Tsukshinbo will not disappoint you.

This place is like someone teleported a family's home/restaurant in rural Japan into the middle of International District.
They serve sushi here, but that's not why you go to Tsukushinbo. The homestyle dishes like the Katsucurry (fried pork cutlet on a bed of rice drenched with Japanese curry) and the Ten zaru soba (Soba noodles with a side of dipping sauce with Tempura) is pure delicious comfort food that you just can't find anywhere else in the city.
It's in an unpresumptuious building, the decor is old and dated, and the service slow, but it's damn good and you'll be glad you went. • • •

The food here is very good and some of the dishes are pretty creative. However, the service was atrocious the time on this Saturday night. The place was understaffed, and the waitstaff there just kept on forgetting things and was just generally inefficient. We saw one table having to get up and grab their own chopsticks after waiting 10 minutes to flag down someone.
